Objective: Increasing numbers of women are in employment during the menopause; however, menopause symptoms can negatively impact capacity to work. Aspects of the work environment, such as the amount of time spent in physical activity (PA) and sitting, may influence symptoms, yet this is unexplored. This study aimed to explore relationships between workplace PA and sitting, and menopause symptom severity.

Background: Certain demographics and/or risk factors contribute to complications following cervical spinal surgery including pseudarthrosis, prolonged pain, and reduced quality of life (QoL). Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) stimulation is a non-invasive therapy that may enhance fusion success in at-risk patients.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of post-operative adjunctive PEMF therapy following cervical spinal surgery in subjects at risk for pseudarthrosis.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with marked heterogeneity in executive function (EF) abilities. EF components including inhibition and shifting are related to ASD core symptoms such as perspective taking, social communication, and repetitive behavior. Recent research suggests that multilingualism may have a beneficial impact on EF abilities, especially in children with ASD.

Article Synopsis
  • In low- and middle-income countries, neonatal bacterial infections are primarily due to Enterobacterales and Staphylococcus aureus, which contribute significantly to mortality from antibiotic resistance.
  • The study aims to gather existing data on the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria like 3GCRE, CRE, and MRSA in newborns, focusing on factors that influence colonization during the first three months of life.
  • After reviewing over 3,000 articles, the research analyzed 67 studies, finding a pooled prevalence of 30.2% for 3GCRE colonization among neonates, highlighting a significant public health concern in these regions.

Age-related differences in twist may be mitigated with exercise training, although this remains inconclusive. Moreover, temporal left ventricular (LV) systolic twist mechanics, including early-systolic (twist), and beyond peak twist (twist) alone, have not been considered. Therefore, further insights are required to ascertain the influence of age and training status on twist mechanics across systole.
